Still available ?

Keep in mind that a lot of those "Independent businesses" also farm out to HD and Lowes. If their business is slow, they have to keep their guys/crews working.

We're in the middle of a remodel presently. We've had a contractor and a plumber come in to give us quotes on various things. We basically kicked both of them out after they gave us ridiculous quotes. The Trades have been quite busy lately and the contractors are creatures of opportunity/low hanging fruit. If you're looking to have reasonable work done for reasonable prices, you go to the back of the bus.

Don't be surprised if your guy just doesn't show up.

I sort of hope he doesn't. I can pay someone else a premium to finish his work and come out money ahead.

There are good contractors out there, they most likely are the ones you guys think are overpriced but like anything you get what you pay for. If you paid for better contractors you wouldn't have the issues that you are experiencing.

We got estimates from five businesses. The guy we chose was within a hundred bucks of the highest estimatevand about 500 more than the next closest. He had the slab the wife liked best. As I mention, when they did the kitchen, it went great.

You can pay more for a Range Rover, but not get the quality of a Lexus.

Actually sold some gold yesterday to cover way over the budget home remodeling project.

I have thought of that it and it will make it even harder to take her out when there are no more available. I hope for everyone, that is a long ways off. This rifle is a work of art.

I think guitarists are kinda like racing drivers - "best" depends on discipline.

People can argue Schumacher vs. Earnhardt all day long, but they raced different kinds of cars in different racing disciplines.

Vai & Malmsteen play guitar like Hendrix and Clapton play guitar...but they play guitar *differently*. Classical shredding is a lot different IMO than blues guitar, which is different than 60-70s rock guitar, which is different than contemporary jazz guitar, which is different than 80s hard rock/metal.

When I pop smoke in a couple years and retire Tac Ops rifles will double or triple in price I'd say..

To echo the above, I LOVE the TVC. That wider head makes a noticeable difference to me. I shoot of it and have my supporting gear, binos/spotter/range finder/etc on a cinema bar on the TFC.

Currently they both have an ANVL30 on them but I’m starting to come around to the thought of just using a traditional ball head like a BH-55. More experimenting at the flat range to see what I like better.

Tell me you’re rich without telling me you’re rich

I just got a Fatboy and like it better than my Two Vets.

The legs are thicker, the controls are easier to use, and everything is just tighter.

No experience with Sunwayfoto.

I'd use Marine Spar Varnish on the top and sides of it. Lightly sand the wood first, in the direction of the grain with fine sand paper to break the mill glaze. Thin the first coat with mineral spirits so it penetrates and seals the wood, when dry lightly sand it, get the sanding dust off and coat it with the product full strength. Sand in between coats to get the dust off. Two to three coats over the thinned coat should work fine. It comes in high gloss and a stain finish. Use either a hogs hair brush or pure bristle.

I’ve had mine for 3-4 years and did not b treat it at all. It’s covered with stains. I don’t have a recommendation, but definitely do something.

Shoot it you'll keep it Try a box of the Federal T308T it's the money 100%

I’ve been running 44.1gr of Varget in LCLR cases with 210M primers with a COAL of 2.840 for 175SMK in my 24” 10 twist Bartlien factory AI barrel.

They run about 2750FPS or so @ 325’ ASL and are about 10 MRAD to 1K. (Right)



On the left is the 200gr 20X load I run in my 308 transgender AI. Runs about 2610FPS or 9.5 MRAD to 1K. COAL is 3.12. Lapua Palma/N150/205. Chamber has .170 free bore.





Bugholes is spinning me up a Brux 10 twist 30in heavy palma AT barrel with the same chamber for the 200 20X.

I figure they’ll be okay to load thru the port, but I’ll be fucked and probably have to fold the butt and pull the bolt if I ever have to eject a loaded round.

Im gonna go north of 44 just 0.3 so 44.3 and 44.6, and see how those loads go at long distance. At 44 there were no pressure signs, probably because I backed off the lands. I have had killer 260 and 6.5 loads that are magic at 100y and then go to shit at 1000. But after this I just want to shoot and not noodle anymore.

Some day if I get bored I will got down the 155 Scenar rabbit hole.

I always like the idea of doing .2 fine increments, that way if I can be bothered fine tuning more I can split the difference between them.

But I like your style, load development is shite. I enjoy reloading (so long as it's not at 1am the night before a match) but load development is not something I enjoy.

I need a local only joint in Fort Worth Texas. Without supporting Goat Fuckers.

I mostly quit pizza because all the chains use substandard ingredients. Modified food starch instead of cheese. Thy the RAO's frozen from Wally World. Its not quite NY style but its delicious. I usually buy the cheese and add condiments. The veggie isnt bad.

Finally someone got to the master. There was Jimi and there was everybody else. I always liked Cassady/Kaukonen on this opening.
